Bakerzin’s New Orchard Cafe Has Hearty Sandwiches And IG-Worthy Desserts

My weekends are spent hopping from one coffee joint to another, munching on avo’ toast with a cup of joe on the side. Besides the aesthetics, the food has to be scrumptious and affordably priced.

Food at Bakerzin You can expect a mix of sweet and savoury dishes on their menu to go along with their fragrant coffee. For each sandwich, you get to decide the type of bread, Charcoal Cranberry Walnut or Parmesan Cheese .

With bright pink hues, the parmesan cheese bread caught my eye and I paired this vibrant toast with Beef Pastrami ($10.15) . Despite the robust flavours in this sandwich, it did not get jelak as the assortment of vegetables provided a refreshing tang. I had their charcoal cranberry walnut bread with Smoked Turkey Ham ($9.65) .

The thick slices of charcoal bread were crisp and had a subtle nutty savour. Taking a bite of this stacked sandwich, I was surprised at the mild smoky taste of the savoury slices of turkey ham.

Naturally, I saved the best for last and paired their Smoked Salmon ($10.15) with the charcoal cranberry walnut bread. Already enticed by the thought of having my favourite fish, I wasted no time to take a mouthful of these mouthwatering, thick slices of salmon. After having my fill of their savoury sandwiches, it was time to satisfy my sweet tooth.

With subtle hints of acidity, this aromatic coffee was a great accompaniment for the sweet Pistachio Rose cake. With a thick raspberry filling in the middle of layers of pistachio flavoured batter, the cake’s nutty taste was overshadowed by this strong tangy berry.

Another delectable coffee pairing is with their Morning Breeze ($6.40) and Sea of Caramel ($7.50) . This sharpness is light on your palate and complements the burnt caramelised taste in the Sea of Caramel. Their Bread Pudding ($13.40) was an interesting dessert featuring baked cubes of Danish pastry instead of the usual stale bread.

These golden-brown bread cubes were served with creamy vanilla ice-cream, resulting in a mix of sweet and savoury flavours. The crisp, flaky parts of this bread contrasted with the soft pudding for an interesting mouthfeel.

This 28-seater cafe in Wisma Atria has plenty of space to offer a respite from an intense shopping session. By the way, spend a minimum of $30 and you’ll clutch an exclusive Bakerzin tote bag!
